About our sink repair in Princethorpe

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s a crack near the taps and chips around the rim, we can help, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Princethorpe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Princethorpe. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

If you’re in Princethorpe and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
